Two Cent Stamps to Change Color.

Mr.. Harris, third assistant postmaster
general, says that the new series of pos
tage stamps soon to be issued will vary
very little from the designs now in use.
The vignettes will not be changed at all,
and the portraits on the new stamps will
be identical " it'll those now in use. The
chief object of the change will be TO make
the new series of adhesive stamps conform
to these embossed upon the envelopes now
issued from the department. To this end
there will be several char ges in the colors
employed. The most noticeable of these
will be in the twocent stamp. This is
now brown. In the new series it will be of
millori green.

various levels. The vein varies from
10 to 20 feet In thickness. The ore is
taken out in great blocks, leaving cham
bers from Is to 60 feet. Only enough
of the mass is left for pillars. The vein

One of the peculiar features Of mining
at Pilot Knob is the use of the electric
light in the mine. Fifty four lamps
are kept lighted. "Thev are of great
advantage in sorting the ore," said
Capt. Searle. "That is the only treat
ment our product receives previous to
shipment. It is so clean that no wash
ing or screening is necessary. Twenty
men will sort the ore for regular days

men and turning out more than ever.
No stock is kept on hand. When an
order is filled, or when the supply of
cars gives out work for the day stops

While the furnaces ran it turned out

Shepard Mountain, which is within
the company's tract of 10000 acres, is
not worked. A good deal of ore was
shipped from there last year. The
vein has been traced for 1000 feet, but
the formation is peculiar, the ore being
